I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.

Hi NZTIKES

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Looked and looked, couldn’t find

Couldn't find

Couldn't see it, get the feelingits been mugled

Could not find it sadly

3 kids searched this area well but no find today!

Looked and looked! Please check if it’s still here!

Time to tidy up a few caches in and around Rangiora and put some more smiley faces on the map.

Took a bit of a look, but even more of a struggle to free it. Nice easy find though..... Cheers!

Found ir

There is some building going on around here and lots of leaves am everywhere so not sure if it has been moved or is covered in leaves.

Very fast find

A rental car and a free day gave us the opportunity for a tiki tour around the district before having appointments in Christchurch this afternoon. A quick and stealthy find here. TFTC

Jdyf

done

The 9 year daughter find it again. 3rd one a row. Good on here. But a bit more harder to get.

After being by Lake Pearson, I thought I better get home... I was out caching when the sun was coming up, and I'm caching as the sun sets too. A relatively easy find as there wasn't too many people around at all. Now home for some food!

TFTC NZTIKES, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 26 find(s) of 26 today, making this find #2818

Really tricky find. The nice panel beater came over and helped or I don’t think we would have found it! Fun all the same

Nice grab while waiting for daughter to finish netball trials. Nice One! TFTC

A relatively easy find, tnx!

Took longer than should have. TFTC

02 finds until the 5000th find. Will we still be able to do it in New Zealand?

Since my english is very bad, I use internet translators. I hope my log is still understood.

#4998 (MB), Found it with Cachebox!

A quick find today with TipsyTrout after visiting relatives in Rangiora. Have dnfed this a few years ago, so good to turn this into a smiley, tftc!

Up in Rangiora for a family visit and grabbed this easy to find cache. TFTC

Geo kids dispatched to grab this one during wedding breakfast nearby.

Found it!

Lol

10/10

Took a moment to find, once I worked out the places it couldn’t be there was really only one place it could be. Easy enough extraction, signed and moved on. Surprisingly busy little road this... TFTC NZTIKES.

Today I was driving from Blenheim to Christchurch, where I will be staying for the next week or so. Some loose caching goals - the TMGT caches in and around Kaikōura and the adventure lab cache in Rangiora. Apart from that, it was anything else on my travels that took my fancy until I caught up with family in the afternoon. Thanks all COs.

The man next door is used to geocachers; he pointed out where it was.

Had to check activity for some hints to exact location, thanks

Was a bit tricky but once we saw the clues someone else left FOUND!!!

That took longer than expected. It had been pushed a long way in from the edge and was tricky to extract. A torch was handy in locating it when fingers couldn't reach. Almost caught in the act by a muggle and child who parked immediately in front of me. Didn't sem to think I was strange so all good. Signed and carried on. Thanks for the hide.

Quick find

Took ages but we found it hidden in a place we looked at a few times behind a bright sign

Great hiding spot, but not in the area it said it was, behind something bright on the building

Spent about 15-20 minutes searching for it but couldn't find it anywhere, probably hidden somewhere in the hedge

8 Briefly in Rangiora while a muggle friend washed her dog. Just had time to get to this clever little hide which highlights such an important organisation TFTC NZTIKES

Clever lilly

Just waiting for bike repairs so took a walk round and met a lovely ambo officer who saw us on surveillance camera and came out for a chat!

St John

We searched the hedge up, down and around. Not too many muggles today but we were looking very obvious. Finally got a hint from the Panel Beater to point us in the right direction for a quick find. Sneeky. Cheers

Its Thursday - day two - Rangiora - Lyttleton today. K2R cycle is in the bag. So lets go exploring in Toby and see where the Geotrail takes for the rest of the day.

Its Waitangi Day - day one of a five day weekend exploring the amazing Canterbury, with The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby, Jack and Jill. Two days Rangiora, a day in Lyttleton and 2 days in Banks Peninsula. I got call from The Seagnoid, hes taking a long weekend. Lets go to the West Coast! Lets Go!! but maybe not the West Coast - rain on the way. So lets go to Canterbury. We leave for Christchurch Tuesday evening after picking up The Seagnoid after work. We make camp for the night at Amberly. Today its off to Rangiora for a cycle trip.

Nice and obvious once you see it, but we didn't see it. So we were hunting at GZ, in the hedge 10m away. So - hint for the next hunter - the cache is not at GZ. I ended up reading the old logs and from that went to have a chat to the panelbeater. He knew where it was.

Down to Christchurch with Taybeedragon, Zara and Toby for a five day weekend starting Waitangi Day (which this year fell on a Wednesday. I reckon half the country would have been taking 5 day weekends!). Three days in Rangiora. We did two cycle trails there - having two vehicles makes it so easy. One of those cycle trails was fifty caches. Fifty caches in one day on a bicycle! Then a couple of days exploring the back roads around Akaroa. Darn close to two hundred caches in all. Dropped off a lot of path tags along the way, especially if the cache was nice and dry.

Glad to find late in the evening with no-one around to give extra help. TFTC.

Tricky find!!! Had to look though the comments to find!!! But happy we stuck with it about to give up.

Stoked for the find. Follow me on Instagram #Shawna_2k_Fez

Jess.Daphne and I were having a good look around when the lady who works at the office of GZ company came out and asked if we were geocachers!. She was very helpful and apparently the panel beater next door also is very helpful! We were assisited in the find, which we replaced more at the level of Hint. It's all there in the log and easy - -TFTH and a bit of a laugh.

Found today with busy paws. We were looking here when a friendly person from inside helped us find the way. Tftc!

It was a very early start and I had a few minutes at the station between callouts so popped outside to grab this one. No-one else round so any easy find. Mind you, it did help when other station ‘regulars’ knew where it was:). TFTC

Found at 0300 with Eastmond... we’re first tocare in Rangiora tonight! TFTC

Annoying!

Equipped with an extra hint, I turned up on an early morning to investigate. I am glad there were no people around as i would have never come so close otherwise! TFTC!

Came for a quick stop expecting to find it in no time but sadly had no luck was to tricky for us

Found it!

????????

Sneaky little hide

Yay happy to find this one as there been a few dnf here and no one log find in a year. Definitely not in the building

Looked around for ages but couldn't find. God keeps telling us it was in the building I don't know...

2nd attempt and still couldn't find it. Would be good if coordinates were checked.

Out and about on a Saturday for a few caches and to enjoy the beautiful day! No luck here though unfortunately...

Too hard for us today unfortunately.

Found after finishing a shift in said building - TFTC!

Found while visiting from Sydney
